Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: WLP001 Yeast Starter: one litre Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: Red Star Champagne Priming Batch Size (Gallons): 5.00 Original Gravity: 1.100 Final Gravity: 1.028 Boiling Time (Minutes): 120 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14 Tasting Notes: Thick and chewy with a thick long lasting tan head
5 gallons on August 31, 2008
Total grain - 20.5 lbs
OG - 1.100
Boil time - 120 mins
Bulk age in the secondary. In this case, a 5-gallon carboy tucked away in a dark corner of my "wine cellar" in the basement, just as in the photo below. In fact, I believe the carboy on the upper left is the Barleywine in question. Be careful to keep the airlock topped up - the vodka tend to evaporate in about 4-6 weeks.

Yes... I would love to hear an update. I have most of this instock... including the centennial, which I am not a huge fan of... but this might work. Or maybe sub it for the columbus that I am still not sure why I bought!

could you clear up a few things? I'm just a beginner with only one extract batch under my belt, but after maybe two more batches i might just step up to all-grain. I might just do this for my very first AG batch and I'm going around researching for all grain while saving up for my next two kits and for stepping up. btw what was your mash temp/temps and your liquor to grist ratio in this recipe?
